On October 8th, special bad guy merch is coming to Pokemon Centers in Japan. Most of it is Team Rocket apparel, but the other teams are featured as well in some items. They have everything from pins to hats to comically expensive wallets. Here are some pics, more are in the link above.

Maturity, bitches.
I like the tie. There should be more smart/adult gaming related clothing instead of just hoodie and tshirts.

When would you wear a gaming tie? During an interview? A Tinder date?

Well maybe the date one would work out if some setup was done first.

Is that wallet price correct?! Comes to upward of £100!

How much for the tie?

Why am I even asking? Chances of me buying any of this this: zilch. (Would totally buy the tie if it was shipped from Europe, though.)

The rocket tie actually looks nice... I'm not a fan of wearing gaming-related clothing, but it seems pretty tasteful and I doubt most people would even realize.

Pikachu was always a bad egg in the true history. That lightening flash messed him up though, so now Mr.100+ is mucking around with the likes of Ash 'Best 16' Ketchum from Pallet town. Sad

Well the beauty of that tie is that the design is subtle, though I could perhaps do without the red R, but that's part of this collective theme, so it's not really screaming 'gaming merch'. There's are many occasions when you can wear a tie outside dates and interviews.

I want the Galactic and Plasma pins. Hmm, they don't seem too expensive...

Edit: Flare Pikachu looks good as well.

If you're going to use a forwarder service or something then October 8th is when the online store will have this stuff.

Looking at the other page are some event Pokemon too: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2016/09/160902_p01.html
They are available for one week only and the rotation is different for each store.

A remember a teacher of mine in school had hundreds of ties and a Sonic the Hedgehog tie was one of these.

I saw some of the stuff when I was in Kyoto some weeks ago. Awesome stuff if I didnt think of how unethical the clothing industry is.

I like the tie, although the big red R I would've preferred if one of the normal sized R's was red instead. It looks nice.
